Race Comments

Race 1   CENTRAL ENERGY TRUST HANDICAP TROT

LEESA CASTLETON - inconvenienced and broke at the 800 metres losing ground before settling.
TAKENOPRISONERS - jumped a shadow and trotted roughly near the 800 metres inconveniencing a trailing runner. Authorisation of first placing was withheld to enable Stewards to investigate this incident to ascertain whether there were grounds for a protest. After viewing the replays and hearing the respective evidence of Drivers D Butcher (TAKENOPRISONERS) and S Phelan (LEESA CASTLETON), who stated that he felt that his mare should not have galloped, Stewards did not proceed with the protest and authorised placings accordingly.

Junior Driver A Harrison admitted a charge under Rule 869(3)(g) in that she drove in a manner which diminished the chances of her mare winning by miscounting the rounds racing through the front straight to receive the bell.
